Playbill can't come up with their own ideas?

Posted: 12/2/14 at 4:16pmLaura Benanti also thinks she did it better. Apparently we're not allowed to have two takes on the same sort of joke.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Posted: 12/2/14 at 4:18pmIt's not just a "take on the same joke", they blatantly copied her idea and did not give her credit. That's stealing.

Posted: 12/2/14 at 4:24pmIsn't it in the same vein as the video they did of Jean Dujardin auditioning for a bunch of villain roles? Like two years ago?

SH*T, Laura B. really isn't happy. Multiple tweets or retweets about this. At least most of them are still very funny. In fact, I've been taking a Twitter break and hadn't seen many of the gems she's been posting lately. Like this. God bless her.

Posted: 12/3/14 at 12:01amWell, she's certainly not full of Steven Pasquale. amirite?

Posted: 12/3/14 at 1:51amI worship the ground Laura B walks on but she needs to chill out about this. I remember watching her video when it came out (at a far less prescient time) and thinking it was unfunny and trying too hard in the non ironic sense. All that being said, Krakowski is doing something quite different here and I guarantee those involved in hers had probably never seen LB's. It shouldn't even be an issue though considering how OBVIOUS a target this whole thing is. It's a viral little clip... It's fine.

Posted: 12/3/14 at 7:19amLet's not forget also that it is in keeping with Krakowski's media persona (which remains heavily influenced by Jenna Maroney) to take something someone else did and do it herself, albeit a little more ridiculously.

Jane Krakowski reminds me of Liza Minnelli in that video. I don't know whether that's good or bad.
Let's get right down to it. Laura Benanti is Courtney Cox and Jane Krakowski is Lisa Kudrow. No matter how hard Courtney tries to be Lisa, she will never have the uniqueness that made Lisa "Lisa." Courtney was always meant to be the George Burns to Lisa's Gracie Allen.
In short, Laura is trying way too hard and doesn't have the satirical ability that comes naturally to Jane.
In this competition, I vote Jane.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Posted: 12/3/14 at 11:21pmYeah, Laura is being bitchy about this. The tweet didn't load by the way. Jane for the win here!

Divine did it first 30 years ago. 
Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes

Seeing as Laura was Steven's beard for a number of years... yes, you'd be very right.
#24Jane Krakowski's
Posted: 12/4/14 at 11:22amWell Divine did it the best, obviously.
